21st February 2011
The Brecknock Annual Hedging match was held by kind permission of Mr M Wright at Tylls Farm, Tretower, Crickhowell. The weather was very kind to the competitors and spectators who visited throughout the day to support the Young Farmers hard at work.
The members demonstrated two different styles of hedging which included stake and pleach and farmers. The judges were looking for cleanliness of pleaching, strength against stock, finish and firmness and a good top line was highly important. Judges for the day were Mr Austin Price from Llyswen and Deputy President Mr Tom Evans from Beulah.
The Champion hedge of the day went to Stephen Abberley from Sennybridge YFC with his section of stake & Pleach in the 26 years and under section.
